Jackson is a candidate for a master’s in environmental management, specializing in ecosystem conservation and management at the Yale School of the Environment. After graduating from college, Jackson worked in ecological restoration at the Aldo Leopold Foundation in Wisconsin. Most recently, he spent three years as a community organizer in eastern Montana for a conservation and family agriculture non-profit. In this role, Jackson organized a campaign to fight electricity and gas rate increases, resulting in $5 million in rates saved for eastern Montana communities every year, wrote and passed a country-of-origin-labeling (COOL) legislation at the 2025 Montana Legislature with bipartisan support while leading a coalition of Montana agriculture groups, and led the local community to stall the Snowy River CO2 project in Carter County, Montana among other wins. Jackson is particularly interested in private-lands conservation, prairies, commodity markets, land ownership, restoration, and much more. His favorite quote is “There are two things that interest me: the relation of people to each other, and the relation of people to land,” by Aldo Leopold.
